No posting tonight
One of our two new cash registers (Sharp XE-A506 -- otherwise quite excellent and well priced) developed a serious case of sticky button syndrome which made running the till an exercise in frustration.
Since Costco has an excellent customer satisfaction program, I drove the 100 miles from here to Lynwood and had them swap it out with a new unit. None of the closer Costco's carried this -- the Lynwood location is their "business" branch which features a lot of the items used by retail stores, restaurants, etc... A fun place to shop.
Coming back, my drive was impacted by a car crash -- no mention of what happened on the news or state DOT website as yet but traffic was backed up and I was doing about 10 MPH max. Near Everett I bailed and took old Highway 99 up to SR-9 and rode 9 all the way north to about twelve miles from home.
Of course, now I have to program the new register -- this is actually really easy as it has a USB port and some decent programming software. Grabbed dinner at a local restaurant and am now just getting home.
I will post maybe an item or two but nothing much -- tomorrow and Sunday promise to be busy as well...
